  • Unable to read burned dvd, unable to format dvd, and unable to burn dvd

    Unable to read burned dvd, unable to format dvd, and unable to burn dvd with my HP G62-339WM Notebook PCI have been unable to perform the Windows back up for months without using new discs. But even after using new discs Windows backup tells me that the disc that I previously used that it is asking to insert is not formatted. I also have not been able to read any dvds that I previously burned, instead it will sometimes recognize them as blank and they are not.  I also cannot perform a format on new dvd discs nor burn to them. I have been able to read some previously burned discs on another pc but not the discs that were created with Windows backup. I have tried everything. I have uninstalled the device, ran the fix it, tried troubleshooting, checked the registry and could not find the upper and lower filters listed. I am however able to read program software and the autorun pops up. Once in a while the autorun will pop up when a blank disc is inserted but then that is all the further I am able to use it. I don't know what else to do. I really want to be able to at least burn files to back up so that they are not lost forever. Please help!

    Fixed it myself - for some reason the La Cie refused to read the media. Had to use another machine to pull the data from the drive, copy it over the network to my iMac and then mount the ISO image.

  • Burned a disc in Encore, plays fine on DVD player, but not in Windows Media

    Hi,
    I was just wondering if anyone else has had playback issues in Windows Media Player with DVDs burned in Encore.  We recently produced a 14 minute film that plays skip free and glitch free on any standalone DVD player we test it in, but when we test it in a PC using Windows Media Player at 12 minutes in the picture starts glitching, random artifacts appear distorting what we see.  It doesn't skip, but it does introduce these glitches and artifacts all the way until the end.
    We thought it might be a good idea to play the DVD on a different DVD program, so we used PowerDVD and it plays PERFECTLY.  So, that means it's a Windows Media Player problem.  We tested the DVD on multiple PCs using Windows Media Player and the same thing happens.  We even tested other copies of the DVD and the SAME THING HAPPENS!
    What's most frustrating is that we can't control how people are going to view the film.  We've already had our client come back to us after watching it on his PC using Media Player and ask us why the "movie was skipping."  Obviously, it wasn't skipping, just introducing those weird glitches.  Is there something I can do in Encore to ensure playbackability in Windows Media Player?
    Thanks,
    Steven

    Windows Media Player has undergone some changes over the last several versions. For a period, there was no DVD play at all. It was rumored that MS had removed that, to keep burned pirated commercial DVD's from playing. It is likely that what functions that have been put back into WMP are causing the issues. The issues that you describe sound a bit like some form of attempt to impose "copy protection," onto burned discs. [Just a thought on my part, as I have no facts to back that up.]
    Have not tried any DVD in WMP 12, so have no direct help there.
    As you point out, there is no control as to what software players people will likely use. Not sure how to handle that from your end. Maybe others will have definitive answers, regarding WMP 12, and your exact problem. I would also *guess* that the same would likely happen with any burned DVD, regardless of the software used. Maybe test Burn to Folder and use freeware ImgBurn to experiment?
    Good luck,

  • Windows Media Center - wont launch...due to Software Restriction Policy???

    Current system:
    Windows Vista x64 Ultimate RETAIL installed onto clean system.
    UAC disabled
    Using full administrator account w/ no restrictions
    Problem:
    Anytime I attempt to launch Windows Media Center or Media Center Extender I receive the following popup error and the program does not attempt to to even start:
    Error:
    [Windows Media Center
    "Windows cannot open this program because it has been prevented by a software restriction policy.  For more information contact your system administrator."
    Summary:
    When I initialy installed the OS, this problem did not exist.  I was able to launch WMC just fine.  Only after a couple month of reinstalling necessary base applications do I now get this error.  My family cannot even use it as an extender for the XBOX360 anymore. 
    From what i can tell there are a lot of people with this issue and NO SOLUTION from MS as yet.  I did see in one post that someone else had this error and was able to correct it by setting WMC as the default application in "Default Programs --> Set Program Access and Computer Defaults"  This did not work for me at all.  At this point I am at a complete loss.  Any insight would be appreciated.

    For Windows 8 here was the solution that FIXED it for us:
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/set-program-access-computer-defaults
    To start, open the Set Program access and computer defaults page:
    Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Search.
    (If you're using a mouse, point to the upper-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer down, and then clickSearch.)
    Enter control panel in the search box, and then tap or click Control
    Panel.
    Under View by:, select Large
    Icons, and then tap or click Default Programs.
    Tap or click Set program access and computer defaults.
    Set program access
    If you want to make a program inaccessible without uninstalling it, you can set it so it doesn't appear where programs are typically listed.
    On the Set Program access and computer defaults page, under Choose
    a configuration, tap or click Custom.
    Clear the Enable access to this program check box next to the programs you want to make inaccessible,
    and then tap or click OK.

  • Touchsmart Iq506t Windows 7, Unable to acess s-video input from windows media center.

    System: Hp Touchsmart IQ506T
                  Windows 7
                  Avermedia (A327) Hybrid mini Pcie Tv Tuner (NTSC/ATSC)
    I purchase this system used without an operating system. I installed windows 7 and downloaded the drivers from Hp. All drivers are installed properly and the Avermedia (A327) mini card driver can be seen in device manager.
    Yet, the A327 tv tuner will not give me access to the s-video input. I can get tv thru the rf connection but I want to use the s-video because it has a cleaner signal.
    Any information about the s-video port will be appreciated..
    Thank you..

    Hi Cnmarsh,
    I understand you are having an issue with the Touchsmart Iq506t with  Windows 7, unable to access s-video input from Windows Media Center.
    I read from your post that drivers are installed properly and the Aver media mini card drivers are seen in device manager.
    I was wondering if the any of the drivers in Device Manager have a Yellow caution?
    Also, is the Touchsmart Iq506t software all up to date?
    You could try to download and run HP PC Hardware Diagnostics tool with this link.

  • Unable to play burned DVD

    Hi,
    I part-time video edit and my latest customer complained that the DVD I gave her couldn't be played in her DVD Player. I made the project using Final Cut Pro, exported it via Compressor and burned the .ac3 and .m2v in DVD Studio Pro.
    I tried playing the burned DVD in a PC and found that I needed to download a codec in order to play the video. This is on an XP and goes the same on Vista. However, it plays fine in QT on a Mac.
    I have 2 DVD players, the conventional one where it only plays DVDs and a newer one where it can read & play movies on thumbdrives/hard drives via USB too. On the newer one, the DVD plays just fine. However, on the older one, it doesn't. So I assume the customer's DVD player is similar to my older one which can't play my burned DVDs.
    What is causing this problem and how do I solve it? My projects burned using Adobe Premiere Elements work fine. I'm using DVD-R printable.

    How did you burn the ac3 and m2v file in DVD SP? Did you create tracks? Did you create menus? If your disc will not play in a stand alone DVD player then you did not author it correctly. A PC would only download a codec if it's seeing the disc as something other than a properly authored video DVD.

  • Dvd player 3.2 unable to play burned dvd-  Any suggestions?

    Hello all,
    I'm trying to play a burned dvd movie on my dvd player 3.2, but the dvd player doesn't automatically start playing it. My ibook, 10.2.8, doesn't seem to be able to read it. However, I tried the dvd on a new Mac and it works.
    Any suggestions on what to do, besides buying a new Mac? Thanks!

    I can't find the "post new topic" so I'm choosing
    "reply" and hoping someone can help.
    The new topic button is at the root level of each forum (like iDVD 5 or iDVD 6) towards the upper left corner. You won't see it when you are looking at someone else's messages.
    I have an iMac, 10.2.8, with a DVD Player 3.2 that
    has been working fine for several years.
    The last few weeks when I put in a commercially made
    DVD, it won't play. It doesn't automatically show up
    on the desktop, and when I manually open the DVD
    Player, it doesn't read the disk although the program
    opens without problem. This isn't happening to all
    commercial DVDs, but most.
    This isn't happening to all commercial DVDs - Doesn't sound like a problem with Apple's DVD Player application - you may have a dirty lens in your DVD drive.

    Hi wolfrider,
    Please try running the application as' Administrator' and check.
    Was it running fine before?
    You can also try the following basic troubleshooting steps :
    > Enable the hidden Admin Account on Windows 7 ( Ref :  http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/enable-the-hidden-adminis trator-account-on-windows-vista/ )
    > Disable all Non-Microsoft Startup Services. (Ref : http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/disable-startup-items-servic es-windows.html )

  • Dvd won't play on Windows media player

    I have used idvd 6 to burn a final cut express movie onto a dvd. However, when I try to play it on my pc, it will not work. It works on a dvd player, but not Windows media player. Is there any way to make this work?
    Thanks!

    HI there, I am too having this issue, I have never had this problem before. I always test the dvd in my windows p.c. to make sure it is viewable. I forgot to do it this time, and low and behold when I gave it to a few people, they were also not able to view it. 2 pc's in my office keep saying that it is missing an mpg2 plugin so can not play. The other pc, it just keeps playing the main menu, there is nothing for them to click to view it. Now mine at home will not play either, it has no menus on the screen, but it plays the menu music. Now my p.c. is up to date so there should not be any reason it will not play. I have burned at 1x, verbatim disc's etc.. It plays fine on my Mac, but even there I have just noticed that I used to be able to click with the mouse on each title to play. Now I have to scroll on the menu, then play from the dvd player control. Any help would be appreciated. They have been playing on a TV with the player though, thanks as always, Ileen

  • DVD to i-Pod from Gateway Media Center

    Is there a way to download a movie DVD from Gateway Media Center to i-Pod???

    You don't.
    you have to put the music in itunes and sync it from there.

  • After upgrading to Lion, I am unable to read burned DVDs. Any idea what is wrong?

    While I was using Snow Leopard, everything was working fine; but after upgrading to Lion, my Mac Mini (2010) is unable to read any disks that have been burned. All store purchased disks work fine, but nothing I have tried has worked for the burned ones. Does anyone have any idea what may be wrong?

    Well, I did notice a few things about the disk I used that were on that list. I'm going to try burning a new copy on a new disk that has few to no scratches, not mark on it, and keep it off max speed. I'll get back to you when it's done. That may take a while seeing as it's an ISO that I'm burning and it took a good 15 minutes at max speed.

  • Unable to select burn dvd

    Hello, I have created a small home movie for the first time. When I try to select the Burn button nothing happens.
    I checked the staus of the project and all the movies show "done".

    Hi Voyta
    It's good practise to start ones own question. More people can see it and answer.
    Yes You can but the movie will end in an iDVD theme so You have to fake
    a black and silent one.
    You make Your movie in iMovie
    Close iMovie and locate the project folder/icon
    In this there are a QT movie (Ctrl-click if icon and show package)
    Share movie folder -> iDVD folder -> here it is
    Start iDVD
    under the theme-window there are a button with boxes in it. Click on it.
    Now You see two boxes in the theme window. Drop Your QT movie in the
    left most box. Result: self-starting DVD with Your movie (no theme).
    Fix the theme to a black soundless end.
    Make a disk image on the desktop first to see that it works as You like it.
    Yours Bengt W

  • IDVD burned disc will not run on Windows Media Player

    I've just started using iDVD for my portfolio of images that I want to leave with employers at interviews. I thought iDVD would be great. I just burned a sample disc and it played fine on my mac (photos are a little fuzzy) but when I play the DVD on Windows it just says that it's an "unknown DVD."
    HELP. I want to make a DVD of slideshows that can be played on any computer or DVD player. How can I do this?

    Thanks Sue-
    I'm still new to finding ways to be Mac and Windows compatible. (I've been using Mac since the Apple IIc came out in the late '80's and have only been using Windows for a few years at the office.) I have Parallels running on my Mac Book Pro which has a Superdrive. I would think that the Windows side in Parallels would be able to access the Superdrive as a DVD. Maybe not. I should look into this. Meanwhile I will look over the link that you suggested, as I only have about 60 slides to onto a disc. Maybe a CD would work.

    Harry,
    If you are getting the same problem with both iTunes and WMP, chances are that the issue is in your optical drive.
